THE AMERICAN WIFE.

There is no married woman &c
completely one with her husband
as well-married American woman.
The English husband is masterful,
and his wife is regarded as his in-
ferior in every way. He must be
appealed to every question, from
dress to servants. A Frenchman
expects his wife to live on nothing,
comparatively, and her dress none,
must be saved out Of the household
expenses, or earned in some way.
The American makes his wife bis
equal. Her interests are his his
interests are hers. She knows his
business, and whether they can have
$1,000 or $500 a year to spend.
She keeps track of the market, the
crops, the strikes and has clear con-
ception of every general and person.
al matter that comes under her in
spection. An English woman knows
nothing of her husbands business
matters, not any moro than does his
business clerk know what goes on
in his masters house. The wife
never knows if her husband is max.
ing fortune or is on the brink of
bankruptcy. She is given so much
for household expenses, and she feels
no surprise if at the end Of year
they move into larger and more
commodious quarters. II she is told
to pack up aud be ready to leave she
asks no questions but moves with
the furniture.

THE LANaTRy KISS.

Mrs. Langtry has invented kiss
that, according to the Chicago Mail,
double discounts any thing Of the
kind ever attempted by Emma ABB
bott. AS Lady Clancarty her hus-
band escapes from his pursuers
through nn open window into her
room, She stands with her back to
tho audience clear down the stage,
rear the foo'lights. The husband
looks at her momeus and then
5oshNswmk k'r6und and expose their
pro!iles to tho audience. Then thew
hold each other at arms length
Then her bosom heaves and he pants.
Then her head falls upon his breast,
reclining backward. There is q
crimson blush suffusing her charm
ing face. Then he looks down at
her, and she looks up at him. Then
he suddenly places his lips to hers
Then sho clasps him around the
head Then there is a soft, gurgling
sound, as of water escaping froma
kitchen sink. ThOn they are, as it
were, glued together. Then all is
still Women in the audience be-
come nervous. Baldheaded men
are paralyzed. Men around town
have their watches ont timing them.

SCROfUl

Usually develops in early life,
and Is a peculiar morbid con-
dition Of the system, usually
affecting the glands, often re-
sulting in swellings, enlarged
joints, assesses, thickening
Of the lips, enlarged neck, sore
eyes. A scrofulous condition
is often hereditary, but bad
diet, too free use OF fat meats,
bad air, want OF sunshine and
nourishing food will induce
ii. Some people are troubled
with scrofulous swelling OF the
glands, and with ulcers and
kernels, which may cause very
little pain: others may have in
ward Scrofula, serOfula of the
lungs, scrofula of the spleen,
scrOfula Of the kidneys, and
scrofula of the bones. BUR-
DOCK BLOOD BITTERS will
drive away any case ofscrofula
and not to appear in another
place, for their action on the
blood and bowels will carry the
disease entirely from the body.
